Mystery fish caught off NC coast sets a ‘new species state record,' officials say

A fisherman accidentally set a “new species state record” in North Carolina when he caught an oval-shaped fish that no one on the charter boat could identify. Jim Bickerstaff was about 45 miles off Southport, fishing in 140 feet of water when something on his 80-pound test line started fighting back. The elongated fish he pulled aboard the Oak Island Fishing Charter weighed just over 6 pounds, and was 25.5 inches long and 17 inches around, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries said in a Nov. 10 news release. It has been identified as a unicorn filefish, and it represented a new species for the state’s record keeping. “The truth is, none of us knew what type of fish it was. I’ve been fishing offshore for years, and our captain goes out there more than anybody I know. None of us had ever seen one, and none of us knew what to call it,” Bickerstaff told The Charlotte Observer. “I would love to claim that I’m quite the amazing angler who searched all his life to catch this great white whale, but that would be untrue as I was unaware of this fish’s existence. I actually used the Fish Rules

4-inches of snow, 50 mph gusts, 15-degree lows forecast in parts of NC mountains

The impact of a cold front on North Carolina’s higher elevations continues to worsen, with forecasters calling for more snow, lower temperatures and more powerful wind gusts. Forecasters initially expected “the season’s first snow” would be no more than an inch along the NC-Tennessee state line, but it’s now suspected up to 4 inches could fall in areas like northern Swain County. “If moisture ends up lingering longer over these areas, they can expect an uptick in snow amounts,” the National Weather Service says. The bigger concern will be the bitter cold and wind gusts starting Thursday night, forecasters say. Gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible along ridge tops Friday and Saturday, resulting in very cold wind chills when “parts of the mountains will drop into the 12 to 20F degree range,” the NWS says. Temperatures could feel as low as 10 degrees west of Boone, making frostbite and hypothermia possible for those who venture out with exposed skin, forecasters say. “Highs from Friday through early next week are also expected to remain below normal for mid-November,” NWS forecasters say. The cold front will stretch from one end of the state to the other on Sunday, with lows

With another seat lost, NC Republicans' greedy gerrymander backfires more | Opinion

Last year, Republican lawmakers decided that, despite their best efforts, North Carolina just wasn’t gerrymandered enough. So they took it upon themselves to draw yet another map that would supposedly guarantee their party an additional congressional seat. The expectation was that, in the 2026 midterms, the map would yield an 11-3 majority. Well, that 11-3 majority did happen — just not in the way Republicans had hoped . As of Wednesday, North Carolina is poised to send 11 Democrats and three Republicans to Washington, a stunning collapse of one of the most aggressive gerrymanders in the entire nation . Provisional ballots tallied on Tuesday tipped the race in favor of Democrats in North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, making it the sixth Republican-held seat flipped in the midterms. Incumbent Greg Murphy conceded Wednesday after prematurely declaring victory a week prior. Provisional ballots also extended Chuck Hubbard’s lead over Virginia Foxx in the 5th Congressional District, though she has not conceded yet. What makes the collapse especially stunning is that nobody saw it coming. While some districts were targeted by national Democrats from the start and others became targets in the final weeks of the campaign , several of the seats Republicans
